The goal is to raise those to rule and reign with Christ . . . evidently over countless worlds and countless ages.
Seems to be working pretty well, to me.
BTW, it often appears that you have
lost to death
—a cherished sibling or close friend or
—a cherished parent or
—a child
or more than one of the above.
Everyone suffers a loss. Unlike some I don't blame God. In fact, I have been extremely blessed all my life, above average, in love and comfort, and I am grateful for my good fortune.
But I do not place the burden on God for my fortune or misfortune. In this world everything that lives also dies. We can't rebel against it or blame anyone for it. That's how it is. We should make what we have as pleasant and lasting as possible.
What comes afterwords is as good as anyone's guess. We should have no regrets leaving this world. We live here and now, and we can make it miserable or we can make it pleasant. Obviously some delight in making it miserable and shoving their superstitions down everyone's throat.
Live a life while you have it and count your blessings. Live and let live.
